Answer» Step-by-step EXPLANATION: In the given FIGURE, we are provided that, PS = PT PQ = PR also, ∠QPR = ∠SPT As we know that Angle opposite to the equal sides are also equal. Therefore, ∠PQR = ∠PRQ = θ (say) (because, PQ = PR) also, ∠PST = ∠PTS = ∅ (say) (because, PS = PT) Now, As, Sum of angles in a TRIANGLE is equal to 180°. Therefore, in triangle PQR, ∠QPR = 180° - ∠PQR - ∠PRQ = 180° - θ - θ = 180° - 2θ Similarly, in triangle PST, ∠TPS = 180° - ∠PST - ∠PTS = 180° - ∅ - ∅ = 180° - 2∅ But, ∠QPR = ∠TPS (given) So, 180° - 2θ = 180° - 2∅ θ = ∅ Now, In triangle PQS and triangle PRT, PQ = PR (given) ∠QPS = 180° - 2θ + ∠RPS = ∠TPR = 180° - 2∅ + ∠RPS (because, θ = ∅) and, PS = PT (given) Therefore, Triangle PQS ≅ Triangle PRT (SAS congruency) So, QS = RT HENCE, proved. |
